Cake Sculptures - It comes with no surprise to say that mid-20th century American women, in their role as housewives and mothers, were encouraged to take pride in their cooking and baking skills as they devoted their time and energy to their husbands and children. Marketing companies often showed smiling women baking cakes and looking happy and content to be doing that and nothing else. Instant cake mixes were all the rage and from their invention in the Depression to their postwar popularity, they became an expression of American history, ingenuity, and a timesaving alternative for the typical American housewife. As my role as wife and mother, I made hundreds of boxed cakes over the years while juggling career and family. The notion of repeating this cake form with materials other than batter and frosting became a conduit to alter our perception. Each cake takes on its own meaning and carries with it an undercurrent of the feminine condition.

"Each summer I take a couple of months to travel away from the confines of my studio and go back to nature. Upon returning from a two month stay in the New England countryside in 2018, this series evolved. The influence and tranquility of nature continues to play into my work". Patricia Schnall Gutierrez

Artist Statement Capturing the essence of being female through a prism of intrigue, humor, and absurdity, I offer a fresh perspective on the narratives that shape women’s lives. I believe that we have been fractured throughout eras in media and art history, an oversimplification of women that is mere misrepresentation. I navigate the illusion between past and present, creating a contemporary chronicle of life interwoven with memories of joy, sorrow, growth, and introspection. These emotions need not be simplified, they occur as simultaneous phenomena in individuals' lives. Themes of identity, feminine roles, childrearing, and aging are used as threads in the tapestry of my own experiences. My feminine-based approach to viewing and describing the world extends beyond drawing and painting to include sculpture, installation, performance, and film. Drawing and painting are intentionally calculated, while my sculptures and installations are free associative of what it means to be feminine. Performance and film poetically capture collective female consciousness, recording the stories of myself and women in my community. My experimental approach to layering materials and objects draws viewers into deliberate dialogues that probe questions about gender and sexuality. From April 12 through July 12, 2024, I will present my largest museum solo to date at Burchfield Penney Art Center, SUNY Buffalo State University. In my world, I transform the mundane into the extraordinary, infusing the everyday with unexpected twists. My multidisciplinary approach enables me to consider the relationship of material, process, and outcome. My selection of mediums and methods, both used independently and combined, translate into questions and reflections on the diverse facets of being female in a world that is nuanced with challenges. In this large body of work, I address the need for society to honor women fiercely for their many roles. In 2011, Schnall Gutierrez co-founded RPM Projects with filmmaker Rhonda Mitrani and photographer Marina Font, a collaborative venture dedicated to multi-sensory female experiences. Best known for large-scale multimedia installations and short films, the project supports each artist independently and collaboratively.
